UniRoute™

UniRoute gives you a fully featured shape-based auto routing system that’s capable of supporting the most complex rule sets and technologies. One of the highest quality-controlled and constrained automatic solutions available today, UniRoute is designed to rapidly accommodate the very latest and toughest nanometer processes and rules.

As a constituent of Unity™, UniRoute is fully integrated with hierarchical floorplanning, placement, editing, timing and signal integrity components ― a single mouse click enables you to move between individual components with ease.

• Full automatic routing
• Footprint routing.
• Footprint, mirror routing and mirror routing from a template.
• Full topology and routing control.
• DFM routing (slot/density check and filling/comprehensive check and reporting).
• Routing – net tapering (changes track width based on pin current attributes)
• Support for process rules (e.g. end of line/fat wire).
• Current density driven routing.
• Rip-up and reroute ‘cleaning’ features including higher percentage of optimal widths/spacing, metal-wire utilisation and user-specific criteria.
• Automatic cleaning and removal of intra-net.

Yield improvement

UniRoute contains an optimisation programme to identify and improve unfriendly layout shapes. Fully constraint driven ― with a hierarchical constraint management system ― constraints can be passed from other front-end tools, such as Cadence schematics.

• Simultaneous management of optimal spacing and minimum spacing.
• Comprehensive optimal via support (number size/orientation).
• Support for DF (slotting and density routing and checks).
• Graphical usage and congestion analysis.
• Inbuilt RC extraction engine.
